A motorcyle is going on an overbridge of radius R. The driver maintains a constant speed. As the motorcycle is ascending on the overbridge, the normal force on it(a) increases (b) decreases (c) remains the same (d) fluctuates.

Answer»

(a) increases

Explanation:

An over-bridge is not just an arch shape placed on a horizontal road because it will give a great jerk at the start. So to keep the driving smooth both ends of the over-bridge are kept concave upward. When a vehicle starts to ascend on this concave upward part of the over-bridge it puts extra force on the road in addition to the weight due to movement on the circular part. So the apparent weight and hence the normal force on the vehicle increases.
